GOING THE LIMIT SINKINGS BY SUBS A THORN IN OUR SIDE The sinking of American and allied ships along the Atlantic coast by axis submarines has been, and still i9, the real thorn in our side. It has resulted in the rationing of sugar, rationing of oil and gasoline, and shortages in coal and other articles. The count of losses up to May 3 was 157 ships—85 of them off the United States. While our ship yards were turning out two new cargo ves sels a day, the sinkings often rose to as many as three a day. Many have been the efforts to solve this problem and many have been the hopeful announcements that it was being “licked.” Vice Admir al James said in April that a hard but ‘successful’ fight was being made on the subs from the Bermuda base. About the same time, Secretary of War Stimson spoke of the “amazing achievements” of the “electric eye” detection devices being placed by the army signal corps along the coast lines—devices that could locate subs or planes 100 miles at sea. Big blimps hover over the infest ed areas keeping watch, and have been able to help rescue survivors. Admiral Stark in London very re cently stated that the U-boat menace was being slowly but surely dealt with by anti-submarine devices, and by a burst of American ship building which would produce 100 new war ships this year. The most promising solution seems to be the expected wholesale launch ing of submarine chasers in the near future. These boats have proved their effectiveness. Launchings have been delayed to wait for new Diesel engines, which are said to be capable of great speed. Certain congressmen seem to be in the mood to tax everyth'ng and everybody in sight with the sky as the limit on levies. Among many proposals that have been advanced by the solons as reve nue raisers is lowering the income tax exemption to $500 in the case of single persons and 1 to $1200 for mar ried couples. Another plan that has received unofficial backing is to pinch off a certain amount of a salaried man’s check each week at the source of payment. If these proposed taxes become effective and are thus added to many already law, we are ap proaching the day when most of us will be working for the government. Before additional tax burdens are placed upon the people, congress should take the sensible step that has been urged by Senator Byrd—cut out all non-defense spending. It has been estimated by competent authori ties that we could save two billion dollars a year by doing this. We must cease buying false whisk ers and other trappings for the new deal santa claus. The government must set the ex ample of economy and sacrifice if it expects to see the people accept heav ier and heavier tax loads with un complaining patriotism.

A DEAR SCHOOL “Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.” If Japan knows about this wise saying of Poor Richard she perhaps recalls it with freshened memory and pained regret today, and wishes in vain that it might have been heeded before Pearl Harbor. The Jap hug ged the insane delusion that he was destined to destroy the American fleet and eventual lordship over the Pacific. His experience with the American fighting machine since December 7, is teaching him differently. And he is getting the instruction at a dear price. The smashing blow which his navy got in the Coral sea and the bombs rained on Tokyo are a fore taste of our other “schools” of ex perience that will be dearer still. The magnificent victory of the Americans in both engagements foreshadows the day of disaster for the Japanese em pire, knocked to pieces by the united shooting and bombing of the United Nations. When this is accomplished, as it surely will be, many an almond-eyed gentleman in the Land of the Setting Sun will be ruefully conscious of the hard fact that experience still keeps a dear school. DRIVE AGAINST DISLOYAL A drive to void naturalization when fraudulently obtained has started in New York city. Paul Huissel, a toolmaker, and a native of Mannheim, Germany, came to this country in 1927 and in Nov ember, 1934, was given his citizen ship papers. The very next day he became a member of the Friends of the New Germany, an organization later known as the notorious German- American Bund. United States Attorney M. F. Correa set forth in his petition for voiding citizenship on grounds of disloyalty to this country, that he re fused to work in a factory producing war materials because they would be used against Germany and V.e recent ly stated that German blood is the only thing that matters and that all other people will not last. The drive against this type of per son should be pushed vigorously and relentlessly. Not only should the dis. loyal, who have obtained citizenship fraudently be deprived of that boon, but all who have secured it legally and now disgrace, it by their traitor ous conduct, should be deprived of the status of citizen and sent back to the nazified land which they profess to love so deeply. The United States has been too lenient with this element. It is time to crack down on it in a way that will be understood: Deprive each one of citizenship and throw him out of the country. HITLER DEFEAT NEARER Production, record of United States war industries has reached an amaz ing stage of output. So great ftas been the amount of materials turned out for the fighting forces, that the government has ordered curtailment of new plant building in order to step up the output of ships, tanks, planes, and munitions in plants al ready in operation. The objective is to produce arms for war NOW, not tomorrow. Behind this objective, writes Ros- coe Drummond in The Christian Science Monitor, is the growing con viction of the American high com mand that this war “may be settled in the next six months.” The gov ernment is acting upon this judg ment, Mr. Drummond adds. _ It is believed now that the major allied offensive which will knock HiU ler to his knees at one mighty blow, and that was planned for 1943, will take place this year instead. Mo mentous events, due to our huge pro duction of fighting tools, may be im pending. “TRESPASS NOTICE” “Trespassers will B persecuted to the full extent of 2 mungrel dogs which never was over soehible to strangers & 1 dubble brl shotgun which aint loaded with sofa pillows.
